Machine Learning for Developers

Overview of this book

Most of us have heard about the term Machine Learning, but surprisingly the question frequently asked by developers across the globe is, “How do I get started in Machine Learning?”. One reason could be attributed to the vastness of the subject area because people often get overwhelmed by the abstractness of ML and terms such as regression, supervised learning, probability density function, and so on. This book is a systematic guide teaching you how to implement various Machine Learning techniques and their day-to-day application and development. You will start with the very basics of data and mathematical models in easy-to-follow language that you are familiar with; you will feel at home while implementing the examples. The book will introduce you to various libraries and frameworks used in the world of Machine Learning, and then, without wasting any time, you will get to the point and implement Regression, Clustering, classification, Neural networks, and more with fun examples. As you get to grips with the techniques, you’ll learn to implement those concepts to solve real-world scenarios for ML applications such as image analysis, Natural Language processing, and anomaly detections of time series data. By the end of the book, you will have learned various ML techniques to develop more efficient and intelligent applications.

Summary

In this chapter, we have covered the simplest but still very practical machine learning models in an eminently practical way to get us started on the complexity scale.

In the following chapter, where we will cover several regression techniques, it will be time to go and solve a new type of problem that we have not worked on, even if it's possible to solve the problem with clustering methods (regression), using new mathematical tools for approximating unknown values. In it, we will model past data using mathematical functions, and try to model new output based on those modeling functions.
